1. About My Life

22m

After Hilton encourages Erica and Griffin to "take risks and pursue their dreams," they do just that and the results become Hilton's nightmares. Erica quits her high-paying job at the law firm, and moves home to save money and study to become a chef. Griffin, on the other hand, moves into the Lucas attic after a business deal goes wrong.

2. Wake Up and Smell the Coffeehouse

22m

By chance, Hilton brings Erica's freshly baked chocolate chip cookies to the struggling flower shop for Ruth and Pauline to enjoy when, just as he's setting out the coffee, strangers ask to buy the goodies. This gives Hilton an idea and he invests in a fancy espresso machine, forces Erica to wake-up in the middle of the night to bake cookies and turns the flower shop into the Flower Café.

3. The Rules

22m

Now that Griffin and Erica have moved into the Lucas house, their constant parade of friends is driving Hilton crazy. Hilton tells Griffin and Erica that since they're living in his house, they have to abide by his rules: no unaccompanied friends in the house, no feeding them with his food, no lending his stuff to them and no men upstairs, especially not Erica's boyfriend Julius.

4. Two Cents

22m

When Griffin's non-stop eating starts to get on Hilton's nerves, and Hilton's non-stop opinion-giving begins to get to Griffin, the two challenge each other to a 24-hour contest to see which man has more self-control.

5. Older and Out

22m

Hilton is overjoyed when he meets new friends Chuck and Larry and joins their "Older and Out" team, since he's also older and "out" keeping busy. Ruth discovers that Chuck is gay and she mistakenly believes that her husband of more than thirty years may have feelings for a man.

6. Lucas Smartypantsicus

22m

Pauline is absolutely thrilled that, after years of being the single friend, she has finally become a couple with her new boyfriend Gregory, a self-absorbed, self-proclaimed genius who disturbs Hilton. When she decides to dump him because he's too uptight, Ruth thinks that Hilton is really the one to blame and sends him off to remedy the situation.
